My data was breached by the XXXX Data Breach, therefore, I requested a copy of my credit report. XXXX XXXX was listed on my report saying I was in default with payments. I had never taken a loan out with this Company. I had never received any correspondence from this company. So I disputed the reporting. Once I submitted a dispute with the credit reporting agencies, I received a citation petition filed by the Eaton Group on behalf of XXXX XXXX. The Petition indicated that XXXX XXXX was the original creditor and I defaulted on a loan with a balance of {$5800.00}. My Answer was : I do not have any agreements with XXXX XXXX, nor do I owe this company any money. Ten days after my Answer was filed, I was cited with an order to appear in court and show cause why I do not owe XXXX XXXX. Today I had to appear in City Court ( XXXX XXXX, LA ) to defend myself against The Eaton Group, XXXX XXXX, LA, a collection agency representing themselves as a Law Firm who is claiming to be acting on behalf of XXXX XXXX. The Eaton Groups position is that the debt was transferred to XXXX XXXX. The documents that Eaton Group presented to the Court showed conflicting information. -- -- The initial petition indicated that XXXX XXXX was the original creditor and I defaulted on a loan with a balance of {$5800.00}. -- -- The Affidavit that Eaton Group filed with the judgment indicated that the debt was transferred from XXXX to XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/2017. ( It did NOT show transfer to XXXX XXXX. ) -- - Another document ( Bill of Sale and Assignment ) showed that the debt was transferred to XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/2017. This information is false because at that time the loan was in good standing and I was still making payments to XXXX via ACH. -- - Another document the Eaton Group presented was a Transfer of Assignment stating that the debt was transferred to XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, then to XXXX XXXX XXXX, then to XXXX Funding all on the same date, XX/XX/2017. I pointed out all of the inconsistencies to the Judge. Companies like the Eaton Group prey on consumers who have had hardship. They set up shop in the City Courts claiming to represent multiple companies, because there were several people in court today that the Eaton Group had filed judgments against on behalf of multiple companies. The information they present is false and inconsistent documents. This has an inference of a scam or fraud being committed. The Eaton Group has multiple complaints filed against them with the XXXX and CFPB for unethical practices. Yet they continue to be allowed to exercise this type of practice, and they are doing it through the court system. HOW IS THIS LEGAL! It seems all one has to do is present a claim to the Courts that you owe a debt to them without any proof that the debt was actually transferred to them ; only that the debt exist. So these companies gain access to your private information, just enough to show that the debt exist, file a judgment in the Courts and request you to show cause to why you dont owe them this debt. These companies feel like they can present a letter or statement with your name on it and this is proof that you owe them. It only proves that you have gained access to my private information. This is a violation to the consumers not an entitlement to the collection companies. All of the data breaches and easy access to a consumers personal information just makes it easier for companies like the Eaton Group to prey on consumers. The law needs to be changed on collection practices.

06/18/2018	No	Vehicle loan or lease Loan	Struggling to pay your loan Loan balance remaining after the vehicle is repossessed and sold	LA 707XX	Web	Older American
in XX/XX/XXXX my daughter purchase a XXXX XXXX from XXXX XXXX in XXXX XXXX.She asked me if i could co sign for her and since she was my daughter i agreed to help her.The financing was too high for her she realized after she had the car for a couple of months. The rate was too high and she could not get the vehicle refinanced out of my name at an interest rate she could afford and after a few months of struggling to meet the note she returned the vehicle in XXXX XXXX.She had put down {$1400.00} on the purchase and lost that money as well. She not I ever received any kind of paperwork and were never notified that anything else was owed on the vehicle. We were never served any kind of paperwork nor were we given a chance to appear before a judge to dispute the judgment which is now on my name. Until i went to purchase a home 4 years later did I even know there was a judgment against me. The judgment is for over {$14000.00} and I was never served or given notice that this was being filed.I called the attorneys on several occasions the week of XXXX XXXX thru XX/XX/XXXX to find out how that was large amount was still owed after the car was sold. I have never received any paperwork regarding the selling of the car and was willing to make payments on the balance remaining as i suspected it could not be more than {$4000.00} since {$1400.00} was put down and payments had also been received. The car when returned was only 6 months old with minimal miles on it and i did not possibly see how i could owe over {$14000.00} on the car. That meant they would have had to sell a {$22000.00} car for only {$7000.00} which would have been ridiculous for a new car.I never received a return phone call from the EATON GROUP ATTORNEYS LLC OR XXXX the attorney handling this. I would like to see what the car sold for minus the monthly payments made by my daughter plus the {$1400.00} she pd down on the vehicle as i suspect i owed nothing after the car sold or I would have gotten some kind of notice after 4 years stating i still owed something on my daughter 's behalf.I DO NOT SEE HOW ANY JUDGMENT CAN BE FILED AGAINST A PERSON WITHOUT SENDING THEM A NOTICE THAT MUST BE ACKNOWLEDGED THEY RECEIVED.HOW DO COLLECTION ATTORNEYS GET AWAY WITH THIS? THANK YOU

To whom it may concern, In approximately XXXX, my wages were being garnished for a student loan debt by debt collectors of Eaton Group Attorneys. XXXX of XXXX I contacted Eaton Group and spoke to XXXX ( XXXX ) to inquire about this debt. I was notified that they had a 2nd garnishment for a XXXX credit card that they were then collecting on. I was not notified of this at all. So XX/XX/XXXX I received payments from Eaton Group in approximately over {$800.00} for overpayment. In XX/XX/XXXX, I was sent a judgment letter against me rewarding XXXX XXXX {$4500.00} for this XXXX credit card account. I once again never received court documents until they were supposedly filed against me. I notified Eaton Group Attorneys that I was seeking legal advice and needed more information on this debt. I always inquired about the statutes on this credit card since it was from XXXX, and the account was closed. In XX/XX/XXXX I received more documents where their was a court date and I was not notified. The supposed judge issued a wage garnishment for this account from XXXX. I sent a written correspondence to Eaton Group requesting more information and why wasn't I notified of a court date. I also advised them to submit all info regarding this to my attorney. I heard nothing, but my wages began being garnished on this 20 year old account. After contacting XXXX regarding this issue, they had no knowledge of the account being open and were no longer collecting. After carefully looking over my credit report, this account from XXXX is open without my knowledge with an credit limit of {$3500.00} in which I did not authorize this account. XXXX credit bureau could not give me any information or had no knowledge of this account. So I have a 20 year old account where my wages are being garnished and a open credit card account I did not authorize. Eaton Group Attorneys has failed to submit information from XXXX.

The original debt was a charged off credit card was a credit card opened in XXXX of XXXX and should have been part of a community property debt. The original credit limit was {$500.00}. Sometime at the end of XXXX the Eaton Group purchased the debt and filed a lawsuit. I was never served or notified of this suit and the judgement was entered when courts were closed due to Covid. Looking at the local XXXX XXXX XXXX complaints it appears 100s of judgements were forced at this time. My employer was served a wage garnishment and originally I didnt even know what the debt was. At the time my employer was XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX. Between Child support and this Garnishment my final check with XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX 90 % of my check was taken which exceeds legal limits. I was ultimately laid off from XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX because of Covid, but began new employment with XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. This employer was served the wage garnishment by the Eaton Group. The amount of court costs is constantly increased along with interest. My family court attorney has contacted the Eaton Group as I have and phone calls and correspondence are not responded to in timely manner and the company is unreasonable with their. Collection practices. The Original Judgement was XX/XX/XXXX in the amount of {$3500.00}. To date in XXXX alone my pay check has been garnished {$2100.00} and my previous employer had garnished at least {$800.00}, my attorney has that check stub at the moment and I am in the processes of receiving. Yet my balance owed on this judgement is still {$2900.00}. I have paid over 300 % of the initial amount borrowed in 3 years. The address for The Eaton Group on behalf of XXXX XXXX is XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, La. XXXX. Phone number for the Eaton Group is XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX
09/18/2015	No	Debt collection Credit card	False statements or representation Indicated committed crime not paying	LA 70810	Web	Older American, Servicemember
XXXX XXXX contacted my husband via phone in regards to a credit card balance we owed stating they could reduce the amount owed by 60 % and we would only be paying 40 % of the balance. They made the offer sound so good he could not refuse and he accepted. He was told at the end of 24 months he would be debt free. They started drafting the payments from my checking account and my husband gave them permission to speak with me in regards to any questions I had. Somewhere around XX/XX/2015 they suspiciously stopped drafting my account and I was advised to continue paying via paper check. It took an act of congress for me to speak with a live person. I have archived emails that I sent to them that we received from the creditor. Sometimes we would receive a response other times the emails were unanswered. I finally gave up and told them I wanted all of our money back ( after making payments for 2 years ) and then the nightmare began. I was told by XXXX ( supervisor ) we could not get our money back because they were close to settling the debt and to continue sending the payments. Unfortunately, I did continue sending payments even though no actions were being taken to reduce this debt. Papers were served to my husband at home ( yes he was sued ) and now we are out of XXXX of dollars and still owe the creditor. These people are crooked thieves making a living off of unsuspecting innocent people. I have a paper trail of emails that I 've sent and received. I was able to save {$330.00} that I actually did a stop-pay on the check as recent as XXXX/XXXX/2015. People beware of these crooks.

He did not give me a name for who was handing the case but he said Eaton was no longer handling it. Now I find out he lied about that, they are still the ones handling it. Also the XXXX number that was given on a letter to resolve is not a working number. I will have to send in paperwork on a later date. I am in XXXX XXXX XXXX Florida and my was is gutted paperwork was ruined with water from storm so it will be a while before I can locate any paperwork. The company hangs up phone on me when I call.
01/27/2023	Yes	Debt collection Credit card debt	Written notification about debt Didn't receive enough information to verify debt	LA 710XX	Web
XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX filed 3 lawsuits against me on accounts that have not been verified to be mine. They started in XX/XX/XXXX, second one XX/XX/XXXX and third XX/XX/XXXX. I've not had anything like this happen before, so I wasn't familiar with going to court. It all happened so fast because they were sending one right after another and they got default judgements. Which in turn they sent to my employer and my checks have been garnished for the past 6 months. They keep sending letters to my employer and have sent information on the details of the debt which is a violation of the FDCPA directly to my employer via email and regular mail. They keep sending letters to my employer over and over. To the point my employer is tired of dealing with it and I could be in jeopardy of losing my job of almost 10 years. This has been a completely humiliating for me being harassed on a debt that I don't even know that I owe. Not to mention ALL the charges and fees that added to it. Something needs to be done about this company ASAP. They're violating numerous laws daily! Misrepresentation of being an attorney but they're really a collection agency, they have and still are called harassing my family and my employer, and misrepresentation about the debt and how much is owed and verification that I even owe the debt.

Eaton Group Attorneys are collecting an alleged debt for XXXX XXXX XXXX and continue to contact me at my place of employment ( also a law office ), leaving recorded messages, voice mails on my employer 's phone and it is an automated call. I have written, faxed and e-mailed Eaton Group, provided them videos of the recorded calls and voice mails, and photographs of the caller I.D . at the law office where I work together with an Exhibit listing the dates and times of the ongoing calls and they still will not discontinue the calls. I have been verbally warned by my employer not to continue receiving " personal '' calls at the office and am in fear of losing my job!! Because I can not seem to get anywhere with Eaton Group directly, this is my next line of action. I have also provided Eaton Group with an Affidavit showing that the XXXX XXXX card for which they are trying to collect was never in my possession and was likely stolen along with my vehicle a couple of years ago as that was around the same time that whoever stole the car also started using the credit card. I have disputed owing the debt but doing so is like talking to a brick wall. They do not seem to " follow the rules '' when it comes to debt collection practices.

About 5 months ago I received a call from XXXX credit saying that I owe {$600.00} and they were a debt collector. I told them I do n't know that company and it seems like if I owe money to some creditor I would be getting bills for it and I never have. She wanted my bank info which I refused to give. She said I would be sued if I did n't pay. I asked for their address and told her to send me documents to prove I owe it. And if I see that I did I would send a money order. She said they could n't do that and I would hear from their lawyer. Well I looked up XXXX XXXX and saw a bunch of complaints and saying they are scammers. So I did n't worry about it. Well today I was left a recorded message that said this call is from Eaton Group Attorney 's and this call is from a debt collector for me to call back. Which I did n't yet. Should n't they show me proof that I owe this. I have no recollection of owing money to this company. I 'm not even sure if Eaton Group Attorney is talking about XXXX XXXX. ( For the question " Which of these best describes you issue ''? The answer is just that they threaten to sue me not that it 's an old debt because I have no idea what it is. ) Thank you

The company sent a summons on XX/XX/XXXX. They claimed they sent paperwork about a garnishment in XX/XX/XXXX. I NEVER received any notification to settle the debt or anything. None of their letter were sent certified so how can they say I received it if I really did not. I did received the garnishment paper work in XXXX of XXXX but nothing between the supposed garnishment and now. I offered them {$2000.00} in XX/XX/XXXX and they refused it. This debt isnt valid. I do not get any settlement notification and when i had been calling in XXXX of XXXX they barely answer, they are rude and just are not willing to work with them. I am now forced to be self employed. I am still willing to settle for the {$2000.00} but the garnishment and judgement must go away for good and paid in full! They were serving lawsuits in the middle of a pandemic and its sad that judges were really signing off on them! At my home we have cluster boxes and it would be easy for me not to received mail and I honestly never got any other correspondence from Eaton Group.

On XX/XX/XXXX i received a letter from the Eaton Group Attorneys, LLc it was sent to me from their organization about and alleged debt. They wrote in their letter that i should notify their office within 30 days of receiving their notice.So i did notify them on XX/XX/XXXX to cease and desist any attempt to collect this alleged debt. But in their greed for money and their love for filing lawsuits they ignore the cease and desist letter and the federal fair debt collection practices act, 15 USC 1692. and filled a lawsuit on XX/XX/XXXX for XXXX XXXX XXXX . This is the kind of dishonest law firm / debt collector that gives companies a bad name this dishonest organization needs to be investigated for other violations that they have committed.

Call originated from an automated caller ( ie ; robocaller ) and identified itself as an attempt by Eaton Group to collect a debt. I and my wife have been retired now for several years and have never had and do not currently have unresolved financial problems that would explain why our phone number be on a debt collector 's list. Furthermore, a brief web search of Eaton Group indicted the web site was 1 ) not available ( error XXXX ) and 2 ) associated with complaints of unprofessional collection tactics.
